adjusted routines

since the start of this year, i have changed my weekly routine... this was, in part, due to my resolution to lead a more balanced life with more time for myself, but also in view of mum's change in behavior. she now resists going out and prefers to stay at home. me, on my part, would also try to get her to be desensitized to me leaving the house. so, i make sure i leave the house daily for my exercise in the evenings (even if it was to do nothing but some push ups)... yup, as a result, my routine has changed.

weekdays

0800: self-time (wake up, wash up)

0830: dog-time (bring dog to pee/ shit) #

0900: self-time (breakfast, read newspaper, look for job, etc)

1500: must be at home prep for mum's return 

(if she does not see me at home when she returns from rehab, high chance of her going emo and throw tantrums)

1545: mum-time (watch tv or do anything with her around)

1700: prep dinner
(must show mum or else she will not eat for fear of me poisoning the food)

1815: dog-time (bring dog to pee/ shit)

1830: mum-time (dinner/ watch tv)

2015: self-time (exercise/ run) (must leave house)

2145: dog-time (bring dog to pee/ shit)

2200: self-time
(lock myself in my room/ bath, work, relax, surf net, etc) *

2359: sleep-time...

# to leave the room no earlier than 0825 to minimize interaction with mum and to prevent her from asking too much question about whether i leave the house the night before or whether i will be meeting bad people when she goes to the rehab center (at 0845)

* must be in my room else mum will suspect i go out to plan how to harm her

@ bee to join me for breakfast whenever possible
* must be in my room else mum will suspect i go out to plan how to harm her

similar routines largely, and as usual, need lotsa preparations for mum if there are any deviations (eg to attend a dinner). in a large way, the time is more spread towards me compared to the previous routine. and i try to make more time to go out to meet up with friends/ bee for dinners, etc. in addition, bee and i would meet up whenever i head out for breakfast/ meals. 

on repeat mode...
